The speaker of this TED talk, Mike Rowe, is the host of a Discovery Channel show titled 'Dirty Jobs,' which tours around the United States searching for and learning about the 'undesirable' occupations of many Americans. He establishes Ethos early on by explaining what he does for the show, which entails observing over 200 'dirty jobs' as well as working on them, giving him first hand experience on his topic. His audience is comprised of the common American, many of whom have the idea that the jobs he showcases should not be sought out, as they are worked by unhappy people who are paid very little. Rowe tries to abolish this stereotype in his TED talk by utilizing a form of logos, and explaining a particular job that he had to perform, which included the very gruesome act of biting off the testicles of a lamb. He combines this with the fact of this not being PETA recommended, but being less painful for the animal. This is also a form of pathos, because it evicts strong emotions of disgust and pity towards people who have to do this job, which he later disproves, stating that these people are the happiest, because they have balance in their life. The tone that the author uses is one of deep thought as well as general disgust.

In this TED talk, Mike Rowe speaks about the "war on work." In order to present his theory, he presents himself as someone qualified to speak about work, specifically "Dirty Work." This is done in two ways. First, he is automatically granted prestige by the audience by speaking on this program, a well-known show where every speaker speaks as an expert on their particular idea. The position he's in allows him to speak and be trusted and respected, allowing the audience to be open to receiving his ideas (In fact, every audience member has opened their mind to his ideas willingly, whether they traveled there to listen live or clicked on the video. If it was played by a teacher or for an assignment, respect for the teacher reflects ethos on him). In addition to this, he spent a good portion of the video giving the audience a rewason to trust his ability to speak on work, specifically low-grade work-- he's explored hundreds of "dirty" jobs and even done them himself, first hand, and has the authority to speak on such jobs and their position in society. He's speaking to an audience likely comprised of some people in such a job, plenty of people not yet in a job and who are unsure or scared of where they will end up, and very few people of extremely high wage and "safe" jobs. This audience will be open to the opinion he is sharing on work, possibly even relieved or in agreement. Mike Rowe's audience in this circumstance is extremely open and trusting of him and his position on work. The occasion is a Tedtalk speech, and the most clear instances of logos are in his example in which he bites off a lamb's testicles. First, there's a clear progression of thought, where he explains that what we have defined as the safe way of doing things is not necessarily what is best for the animal. This metaphor is applied later, when he speaks of humans being plenty happy and satisfied despite it being the safe choice or the choice you believe to be right for yourself, questioning the very value of safety. The second use of logos is when he references Arisotle, defining tragedy as coming face to face with your own identity and the words "anagnorisis" and "peripeteia", which mean a similar thing, to discover in a moment the truth. This metaphor and device he uses is powerful not only in adding to his ethos by giving him prestige but also by speaking of self-discovery and self-reflection, which adds to understanding his train of thought later in the video. Pathos is also well-developed, because the description of the goat being happier in the seemingly less humane circumstances elicits an emotional response of sympathy and perspective, and challenges their view of safety and happiness later. He develops his tome throughout the piece by starting with a disgusted wonder of what he is seeing before his epiphany, where his tone changes to one of fascination and (ironically) passion. Mike Rowe uses well-developed rhetorical and literary devices to structure his argument and provide evidence for this cold war on work.

The speaker of this TED talk is Mike Rowe, who is also the star of "Dirty Jobs" which is a hit show on Discovery Channel. The show "Dirty Jobs" portrays some of the most undesirable jobs across the United States. Rowe establishes ethos by presenting himself as an expert on and someone who is qualified to discuss work (more specifically, "dirty work"). Rowe is addressing those who may not be sure what they want to do for the rest of their lives or those who want to change what they do; typically high school and college students. The purpose of this TED talk is to discuss certain jobs that people don't typically want to do, but that are crucial for a stable, efficient world. It also teaches people that from the dirtiest and strangest jobs, you can take away very important life lessons. Rowe talks about personal experiences he had on the show such as biting off a lambs testicles because it was less painful for the animal. The use of this example connects him back to the audience by informing them that all though certain jobs or choices may not be the most ideal or"safest", it really only matters what benefits you (and others) and makes you happy. He uses pathos to connect to the audience by showing them the emotional side to these "dirty jobs". He is overall benefiting animals and people by doing risky and dirty jobs that most people would choose not to do. His tone is inspirational, motivational, and informing because of the use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. His credibility along with examples and experiences that he had motivates the audience and encourages them to better themselves when it comes to picking jobs and living life.

The speaker of the TED Talk video and also the host of the Discovery Channel show “Dirty Jobs” is Mike Rowe. Rowe established ethos by explaining to the audience all the specific jobs he does on his show. The audience he is speaking too is college students who are studying technology design and entertainment and are learning about the different job careers. The occasion for this speech is to let the students know that there are many different jobs and opportunities all around the world to be a part of. He utilizes logos by using word from Aristotle and uses meaningful words like “anagnorisis” and “peripeteia”. The tone the speaker used to grab the audience’s attention was silly but powerful. He develops pathos by telling the story of the lamb and what they did to it was animal abuse.

In this TED talk, the speaker is Mike Rowe. Rowe establishes ethos by introducing himself and what he does for a living, which is run a show called "Dirty Jobs" for the Discovery Channel, which gives him credibility in that he is trusted with information that he presents to others.The audience for this TED Talk would be college students.
The occasion for this speech would be his experience as a sheep herder, more specifically, the castration of the sheep (as it was part of the job) and how that experience changed his outlook on what success is - that we've been mislead to think that this way is the right way but turns out it isn't, because of platitudes and other types of pressure. Rowe utilizes logos to persuade the audience that these "platitudes" do not mean anything in the real world, by using examples of the pig farmer (in that the farmer didn't follow their passion, but still managed to make a great living) and the fishermen (who do not think of safety first, because they want to get the job done right).
Tone is developed by Rowe through comical relief - making fun of himself that had testicles on his chin and explaining that he had moments of realization - to make things more serious, in that there is something to be learned about this. Rowe develops pathos by saying how realizes that he was wrong about so many things which could bring a feeling 'wrongness' (for a lack of a better word), that we were so confident with something that we didn't bother to look at the other sides and then end up being off target, a feeling somewhat similar to be ashamed.

The speaker of this TED talk is Mike Rowe from the hit Discovery show "Dirty jobs". Mike Rowe is giving a speech to a group of students, and the reason why he is giving this speech is to teach and show people that we are at "war on work". War on work, what Rowe means by this is that people may choose to do jobs that are safe and stable but may not be fun, but Rowe tries to show that maybe doing more risky and dirty jobs are actually more fun. Rowe is able to show how dirty jobs can be more fun by using ethos: telling true events and jobs that he has done and witnessed. In order to help give his message across more clearly to the audience, Rowe uses logos. Mike Rowe uses logos by telling the audience how when he was filming for episodes of "Dirty jobs", he seemed to witness how even though these people are doing dirty jobs that most people wouldn't want to do, these people doing the dirty jobs seemed to be happier. Rowe says how at one point, some of the workers would be whistling as they were doing the dirty work. The logical point of Rowe saying that experience is to show that doing dirty jobs can actually be fun and carefree, where as he tells the audience that when he sees people doing more safe and clean jobs, he notices that they don't seem to be as happy and seem more tired. Mike Rowe also uses pathos by telling his stories while filming. He was able to capture and make people feel bad about a sheep that Rowe had to bite the testicles off of, but he made the audience feel bad for another sheep, which was given the proper treatment to have the testicles be cut off. The sheep with the proper treatment was in more pain than the other sheep, which got done in just a matter of a couple of minutes. Rowe also plays with our emotions because he is able to get the audience to laugh at some of his jokes. Overall, the main tone of the speech is inspirational, with tones of humor as well and the usage of ethos, logos, and pathos helped to create the tone as well.

The speaker of this particular TED Talk is Mike Rowe, who is well-known for being the host of the television series "Dirty Jobs". In "War on Work", Rowe establishes ethos by explaining the show's goal to accurately portray blue-collar jobs that reside in the United States, separating them from Hollywood's ill intent to turn these workers into pitiful punchlines. The audience Mike Rowe is addressing are those who advocate for correct representation of the people of manual labor, as well as students who are hesitant to take the next step towards life. In the lecture, he recalls a situation where he made a wrong judgement on how they would castrate a sheep's testicles. In the end, he learns that those who do the actual work understand the animals and what they do best as opposed to those in the big corporations. Mike Rowe utilizes logos by alluding to the two sheep they first castrated: one whose testicles were quickly cut off by a knife and the other in pain after using the rubber band method. It is clear that the initial method is preferred, despite the latter being validated by the humane society. The tone developed by the speaker throughout the video is reflective of his actions, informative, and progressive by prompting a PR for forgotten benefits of manual labor. He develops pathos by reaching out to those who were told to "follow their dreams" while growing up, destroys the idea, and reveals that those who have done so are impoverished. Mike Rowe points out that people who have contradicted the notion, such as the pig farmer and biodegradable flower pot inventor, took a step back from their deep focus to realize something that could be worth more.

In "War on Work", Rowe explains to the the students that is his audience by telling them the benefits of doing the jobs he does whether it is safe or risky to do or if it is fun or not fun that it is an experience that is worth living. Rowe uses logos by sharing a story of his of when he had to remove a lamb's testicles one way by cutting it off quickly with a knife and the other using the rubber band method which was painful for the animal. He sees that he made the wrong call on how to castrate a sheep and that the first way is quicker than the method that is used by the humane society. People that do these risky jobs seem to have more fun and enjoy what they do for a living. Also he shows the truth of what happens in the world and not the fake things that are portrayed on TV everyday for entertainment and not for learning lessons. Rowe uses pathos by saying that for the people in the crowd that are told to pursue their passions that it will lead to being poor likely. You may not being able to achieve your dream sometimes, so Rowe lets the audience know that jobs that you may not wanna do, you might have to do and might actually enjoy it and that the job may lead to a successful career. The tone of this video is to show the audience that you have to take risk on jobs and that you will have to do this to get by but that it is an experience worth having and that it may lead to you being successful.

The speaker of this TED talk is Mike Rowe, a man who works in a Discovery Channel TV show called 'Dirty Jobs". In his speech, he establishes ethos by giving the audience information about the first hand experience he has from the jobs he has worked, and more importantly from the lessons he has learned from the people in those jobs. Rowe is delivering his speech to a group of people in a conference interested to know more about infrastructure. Throughout his speech, Mike makes use of logos by telling his audience an anecdote of a specific job in which he came to many different realizations. He explains how he came to understand that sometimes the rules and formalities society places on our jobs and daily lives cannot apply in the real world. There are things that can only be learned by trial and error, by following those with experience, and not by following the rules written down. He also uses logos to show the people the reality of the country's infrastructure, and how it is suffering by the constant decline of the same "dirty jobs" he does in his show. Also, Rowe changes his tone in the speech several times from a playful tone, to a more serious tone. This way, he can appeal as a friendly character to his audience, making them feel closer to him as well as making him a person others can easily relate to. This use of pathos then allows him to connect with others, and it helps him get the attention he needs in order to deliver his final message and help it stick in people's minds.

The speaker, Mark Rowe, is a popular television personality, portrays his thoughts while filming the show "dirty jobs". Throughout his experience filming over 200 episodes, ethos is prevalent in his presentation. This speech was given during a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) presentation. So naturally, the audience is inclined to be acknowledging his logic in such context, to then attribute to their own lives in the TED world. The tone Rowe conveys in his presentation is one of curiosity and question, to question the conventional and sometimes "safe" norms in our lives and to metaphorically stray from the pack.

The speaker of this TED talk is Mike Rowe, television host of “Dirty Jobs”. Rowe establishes ethos by introducing his position within the show which entails the procedures he performs, qualifying the credibility of the information he gathers and presents. Furthermore, having explored over 200 “dirty jobs” his first hand experiences makes the audience open to his idea of “war on work”. The audience of this TED talk are students who are hesitant about taking the next step after graduating as well as those who are in the infrastructure business. The purpose of this TED talk is to discuss the jobs many people in our society believe are unthinkable, but in truth these jobs are needed to keep the society in order. With jobs being marginalized and a sense of complacency of others are created, Rowe discusses what his team and himself do to disprove misconceptions of “dirty work”. Mike Rowe utilizes logos when he references aristotle’s definition of tragedy–coming face to face with your own identity–and greek words, “anagnorisis” and “peripeteia”. His experience castrating a lamb evoked understanding that although we have safe ways of doing things it might not be the best choice in reality. Realizing the truth and understanding misconceptions Rowe connects this idea to the reality of our society and how we look at those in the infrastructure business. Although these jobs are considered unthinkable or dangerous, people who perform them are much happier than those who chose to take the “safe” jobs/lifestyle. We assume that they are unhappy working in unsanitary and dangerous jobs but in reality they are more than happy with the life they are leading, enjoying it for what it is. Rowe also alludes to Bob Combs and Matt Freund who realized what truly mattered in their field of work and are living a great, fulfilling life despite not following their passion. Furthermore, Rowe brings up the war we as a society have waged on manual work/skilled labor allowing infrastructure jobs to decline over the years. Rowe uses humor as well as his knowledge to appeal the audience’s emotions. His use of comic relief amidst the seriousness of the situation allowed the audience to feel closer to him while understanding the meaning of his story. Furthermore, he uses pathos when appealing to the emotional aspect of these “dirty jobs” (ex: biting off the testicles of a lamb evokes strong feelings of disgust and judgement towards these workers who in reality are happiest when doing their work). The tone developed by Mike Rowe was informative and motivational.

In the TED Talk video, Mark Rowe (the speaker) portrays himself as an expert on the discussion of work and "Dirty Jobs"; a show he is the host of on the Discovery channel that depicts to the audience watching, a various amount of "dirty jobs" and occupations of many Americans. By introducing his line of work, he establishes ethos to show his credibility and first hand experience among an audience of common Americans in college. These people are interested in Technology, Entertainment, and Design who believe in the stereotype that the jobs he discusses, make their employees unhappy and that's why they're commonly unsought (a last resort job). The occasion of this talk is to show college students that are about to enter the work force, that through certain unpopular dirty jobs, they are important for a stable workforce and environment, and they teach important life lessons. Rowe utilizes logos to debunk the stereotype and talk about his experience first hand; the time when he had to remove a lambs testicles and use a quicker method than the humane society would have used. This method is more beneficial for the animal, and that's something a worker wouldn't understand working at a larger company. The people that do these jobs seem a lot happier, than those who do more corporate or business occupations. They also get to experience unthinkable and dangerous issues first hand, and real world problems that can be solved doing small jobs that don't seem that important but are. The tone developed throughout the video is informative and serious, yet motivational. By speaking on the inner workings of society, he also establishes pathos by making the audience feel closer to him, that they will be able to relate to his experiences after they graduate college and take a step into the real world. Others may feel as if these jobs are disgusting, but he tugs on the heart strings of the audience members when he explains how happy they are doing their work than a more "safe" lifestyle. Using literary devices such as ethos, logos, and pathos, Mark Rowe is able to establish that the benefits of doing these "dirty jobs" is an experience worth living.

Due to the fact he is preaching about learning from the show Dirty Jobs that he is well known for rather than some unrelated subject provides him with support. The audience is filled with normal citizens who take time out of their day to hear enlightening words that other people want to share. This type of person could be classified as studious or wanting to better themselves. The reasoning behind this speech is to educate the audience that although these jobs are "dirty" and often not wanted, those in these positions make the best of the situation. Rowe uses logos when bringing up the fact that people in these poor jobs still are considered to be the happiest people in the job industry, proving his point even further. The tone of the talk switches throughout as it starts out jokingly and slowly gets more deep and serious when getting down to the real reason behind the talk, confronting social norms that were placed in society and sometimes holding people back from being different and not living by everyone else's rules. Society will always have jobs or situations that will be considered unwanted and "dirty" that no one wants to really do, but at the end of the day they still must be done and those who talk them on should be recognized.

Mike Rowe, the speaker in this TED talk and the host of the hit television series, "Dirty Jobs" utilizes ethos, pathos and logos throughout the course of the video in order to establish his newfound insight on unconventional, strange and sometimes perilous occupations all over America. Rowe is presenting his points to a diverse group of professionals and graduates and effectively incorporates humor in order to narrate his stories and ideas. Nonetheless, he's able to actively establish ethos by introducing his position as an apprentice and his objectives on the show. He captivates his audience right off the bat with his story on the first job in question which was sheep herding. As a result, it's clear that the stories he is revealing are all first-hand and are experiences he's had himself having taken part in over 200 jobs in the duration of the show. Rowe emphasizes the lack of recognition that "dirty job" workers get and the reality of their lifestyles. He highlights the significance of the task he and his team execute in order to eliminate the false presumptions and delusions made against those people. Rowe's incorporation of logos through the Aristotelian definition of tragedy and Greek terms -- Anagnorisis and Peripeteia allow for the occasion of the speech to be thoroughly supported. He relates these terms to simpler and engaging concepts that appeal to his audience logic and helps them to understand that certain discoveries can often lead to life-changing realizations.

undoubtedly express an alteration in the way he viewed the workers that he worked side-to-side with for the show. He appeals to the audience with pathos by helping them to see that those who do the so-called "dirty work" in society are actually more balanced and happier with their life. His reflective, inspired and appreciative tone create a strong backing for his aphorism which focuses on the refreshed perspective he has towards those people and the new-found respect he has for them. He wraps up the lecture with his theory on the war on work and presents his ideas of having a PR campaign for work, as a way of encouraging infrastructure jobs and leaving the audience with the reminder that even the smallest, most insignificant seeming jobs are the ones that could very much have the most impact on our society.

The speaker of this TED talk is Mike Rowe, from the television show on Discovery channel called "Dirty Jobs." His notoriety from the television show, as well as mentioning it in the speech helps to establish ethos among the audience. The audience of the speech were college students. The occasion of the speech was to present the audience with the variety of obscure occupations and how success is a very loose term that can apply to any position, assuming it makes someone money. He utilizes logos by providing examples of times he worked with sheep, even castrating them. This is an extremely strange way to make a living, but a way that some people find suitable and consider successful. Rowe uses a very motivational, inspirational and curious tone with his audience, and in this way thoroughly establishes pathos by inquiring on the variety of jobs available and the slew of ways people make a living.

The speaker in this video is Mike Rowe from the television series "Dirty
Jobs" on the Discovery Channel. The audience that Mike Rowe is giving a
speech to includes the students attending the talk, wanting to learn more
about infrastructure. During his TED talk, he utilizes ethos, pathos, and
logos to portray his ideas. Ethos is established when he begins talking
about his show and the many different jobs that he has experienced,
allowing him to be qualified to talk about this topic. Logos is established
when he goes in depth about his time at the sheep farm when he witnessed
the two sheep getting castrated. It adds on to his speech because it shows
how he has a greater understanding of how these jobs truly are by being able
to have first hand experience. Pathos is established when he brings up
the fact that people choose not to do "dirty jobs" simply because it is not
appealing to them but ends up leaving them wanting more. He brings up
people such as the flower pot inventor as well as the pig farmer to give
examples of people who went against the grain and ended up being more
successful than expected. The occasion of this TED talk was to tell people
that the "dirty jobs" that people do are still needed even though it might
not be a popular choice as well as tell them the benefits that could come with
it. The overall tone of Mike Rowe's speech was high-spirited and informative.

The speaker of the TED conference "War on Work" is Mike Rowe, the host, and creator of the Discovery Channel series "Dirty Jobs". In the video, Rowe established ethos by introducing himself as an apprentice on his show and explaining that he experiences these jobs directly and personally, assuring that he has the credibility to speak on the subject. The audience of the conference consists of people who have interested in the spread of ideas whether they're university students, businessmen/women, scientists or just the general public.
The occasion of the TED talk is Rowe showing his respect and spreading awareness for the skill and integrity of people who take on the less appealing occupations or "dirty jobs" in America. The use of logos emerged when Rowe contacted three animal protection organizations (The Humane Society, SPCA, and PETA) and confirmed that the recommended castration process requires the application of rubber bands to the tail and scrotum. When Rowe witnesses the castration, he noticed that the herders had a different process than what the organizations explained. They cut the tail and scrotum rather than using rubber bands. After being questioned by Rowe, the herders proceeded to castrate using the rubber band method but the result amazed Rowe. The previously castrated lamb acted accordingly as if nothing happened while the lamb that underwent rubber band castration struggled. Rowe realized that you have to have experienced this job personally to understand the best methods and skills.
The tone of the speech is admiring and pensive. Rowe developed pathos when he addressed the issues in our society and how they affected the workforce. This reminded the audience that these jobs must be done and there are people who actually admire and enjoy these tasks.

The speaker of this video is Mike Rowe, the "Dirty Jobs guy", from the popular TV series on Discovery Channel. He's speaking to an audience at a TED talk event about his show and what he does. Rowe and his crew go around the country scouting "undesirable" or otherwise difficult jobs. Rowe establishes ethos by informing the audience of what he does and how his show works, and reminding the audience that he has worked hundreds of these so called dirty jobs and has the authority to speak for the people that he's met and worked with. Throughout his speech, he keeps the credibility of his show by repeating that they don't mess around, they do one take, unscripted, and that's it. Rowe goes on to use an anecdote of a certain job he undertook which involved lamb castration. Rowe establishes logos by telling this story and emphasizing how wrong he was about how to deal with the lambs, and how wrong he is most of the time. Through his work with these lambs, he realized doing things the "safe" way that PETA and other organizations reccomend is not always best for the animal. This story of the lamb, as well as other stories of hard labor workers being happy and successful with their jobs, establish pathos with the audience. It allows the audience to question their own stances on the subject of hard work, and relate to Rowe and his belief that working for your passion is not always best.

The speaker of the video is Mike Rowe, the apprentice of the show "Dirty Jobs". Rowe seeks out jobs that are less than desirable for most people and puts himself in their shoes for a day. His important role in the show establishes ethos, as its long history proves he has experience with a variety of "dirty" jobs. Later in his talk, he brings up the fact that his show is aired on the Discovery Channel in 5 continents, which shows that it is at least relatively popular to be so widely broadcast. In addition to its popularity, Rowe points out that his show only does one take, which makes it more genuine and honest. By building up the credibility of his show, he makes himself more of an authority figure on so called dirty jobs.

Rowe delivered his speech at the 2008 EG Conference, which focuses on creativity put to work. It brings together intellectuals, innovators, and all of those who seek to make ideas into reality. In such an environment, logic is essential, and Rowe has plenty of it. His overall use of logos can be described as contrasting expectations and reality. As the show's name, "Dirty Jobs", implies, Rowe explores jobs that are considered dirty. They may be physically gruelling, menial, or dangerous, but after 200 episodes Rowe came to find that some of the hardest jobs actually work out the best for people. From the owner of a pig farm who became extremely wealthy to roadkill collectors who whistle as they work, he reveals that the reality of dirty jobs leads to workers satisfied with their work and themselves. In a graphic anecdote regarding lamb castration, Rowe shows that the "right" way to do it actually caused more harm to the animal than a more disturbing method involving knives and teeth. He argues that, while the animal safety agencies may believe one method is better, in reality they can be wrong. Throughout all of his argument, Rowe builds his central argument that people should stop avoiding "dirty jobs" and even essential infrastructure jobs just because of their surface appearance.

Rowe's emotional appeals are varied. On one hand, he has the disgust of ripping off testicles with his teeth that is contrasted with the more subtle horror of hearing of the alternative castration method's effects of the animal, leaving it lying on the floor in pain. On the other hand, he has the relatable instance of self-discovery and realization that came from all of his work. Finally, he appeals to his audience's sense of national pride by emphasizing the horrible condition of the nation's infrastructure. By combining a variety of emotional appeals, Rowe makes the audience feel a sense of obligation to look at work in a new way and not belittle the dirtier jobs.

The speaker of this TED talk lecture is Mike Rowe who is the host of the educational show "dirty jobs". Mike Row establishes ethos by describing himself as an "apprentice" and explaining his role on the show which is to display his experiences with the difficult work of such jobs. When establishing ethos Mike Rowe displays to his audience that he has had much experience with trying out many different jobs. In this particular occasion, Mike Stowe is describing an instance when a new discovery caused him to come to a new realization. When telling his story he explains how although he had not usually done research when doing many of these jobs, he decided to seek information for the upcoming goat herding job that he would soon be participating in. Rowe utilizes logos when explain why he requested to use the rubber band method rather than the traditional method being used by the workers in Craig. he also displayed logos when he came to the realization that is method was not as effective as he thought it would be. This opened Rowe's perspective of misconceptions and how sometimes what seems to be the "right" way of doing things is not always as effective as other more creative methods that could be seen as "wrong". Mike Rowe displayed a tone that was comical yet wise. He speaks of a real life experience he went through while exposing his mistakes and imperfections and showing how he learned from them. He uses pathos be describing in much detail how his use of the rubber band method had more of a negative effect on the goat rather than a positive effect. He also tells jokes and tries to make the audience laugh in order the help them further understand how unusual and informing his experience was.

The speaker in this TED talk is Michael Gregory Rowe he is an actor, narrator, and television host. Mike Rowe establishes ethos in multiple ways throughout his talk. First and foremost since he is the protagonist for the show “Dirty Jobs” he is known for having jobs such as the one that he was describing in the ted talk. He also states “ I’m an apprentice and I work with people who actually do the jobs in question and my responsibilities are to simply try and keep up, and give an honest account of what it’s like to be these people for one day in their life.”(0:30) What he did here formed a sense of credibility for people who maybe never seen his tv show. His audience includes mostly college students maybe some high school graduates. I also believe it includes people of all types of professions because of the fact he is really wise pertaining to economics. The occasion for this speech is a TEDx Talk and to inform that you can make money doing jobs you might not have dreamed of but it can still make you rich AND happy. After using ethos he also uses logos in his speech. Logos are shown when he talks about a job that he had to do which had him biting off the testicles of a lamb. He says although it isn't recommended by PETA, it is less painful for the animal. He also uses logos by using words from Aristotle, he uses logos for persuasion to lead audience to be more open to what he is saying. He sets the tone for the talk by using comical relief and also utilizing his personal experiences to set an open and comfortable environment for learning. Mike uses pathos by admitting to his wrong doings of practice and how he sometimes feel ashamed. He also used pathos by getting the audience laughing.

The speaker of the TEDTalk is Mike Rowe, host of the television series Dirty Jobs, where he learns the truth about blue collar jobs. Rowe creates ethos as he introduces himself as an experienced worker as he as been an apprentice for two hundred jobs considered dirty. Throughout the talk, Rowe continues to talk about how wrong he has been, creating a stronger bond between himself and the audience. The audience present at the TedTalk are students in Silicone Valley. The audience is key as they do not have as much knowledge of blue collar jobs and can be persuaded easier.
The TEDTalk occurred for the purpose of Rowe to give his opinions and speak of the lessons learned on his journey of Dirty Jobs. Logos was utilized through the story of his time as a rancher and how he had to work on lamb. Before working, Rowe looked at the 'humane' way of doing the task making it seem logical as the credibility of PETA and other animal organizations confirmed the more 'humane' way. As Rowe worked and saw the differences between the humane way and the way his instructor did it and came to a realization that the 'humane' way was not really better, in fact possibly worse. As he did the procedure the 'dirty' way he learned valuable lessons from it such as efficiency vs. effectiveness, anagnorisis, and peripeteia. Rowe creates logical thought and destroys it in practice and learns from it and wants to inform others of these common logical thoughts.
The tone constructed by Rowe at the beginning is light hearted and had funny moments, however, Rowe gets more deep pointing out that he is wrong a lot of the time. It becomes more philosophical as the findings and greek quotes used during his learning experience as a rancher as his initial thoughts were incorrect. Rowe's pathos becomes increasingly more and more complex as he, an ordinary guy was wrong in his assumptions of people and he is willing to share his mistakes. Pathos was included to get more connected with the audience even if they have white collar jobs as they might make the same assumptions as he did. Rowe comes around at the end with another joke to leave his audience and himself on a high note, not a sad one.

The speaker of this TED talk, as well as the widely known host for the show "Dirty Jobs" is Mike Rowe. On the show, Rowe works as an apprentice for the workers who do jobs most people think of as "dirty" and "unwanted". Rowe is speaking to a large group of college students and he establishes ethos by explaining the experiences he's had working with these people, in the job fields that are not sought out for. Mike Rowe is giving this TED talk in order to establish with students that these so called " dirty jobs" are no less important than any other careers. Rowe uses logos to convince them of this. For example, in the video Mike Rowe talks about how innovation without imitation would be a complete waste of time. An example of this would be with iPhones. Although somebody did create the genius idea of an iPhone, that iPhone would not be the same without the people who made the circuit board, the interface, etc. With this, Rowe is portraying to the audience that the world wouldn't be the same without the people who do these unwanted jobs and that the people who do them should be celebrated. Rowes tone throughout the entire TED talk is inspiring,and he uses pathos to evoke compassion and respect from the audience for the people who do these "dirty jobs".

He came to the a realization, although other people may not see a job as "normal"despite that it gave happiness. Through the use of pathos the author took a rather inhumane and tuned it into a lesson learned. A lesson that defines "hard work" despite the task these people have to do the still manage to complete it, and well...they are pretty satisfied.

The speaker of this Ted Talk was Mike Rowe, star of the reality TV show "Dirty Jobs". The speech, given in front of a live audience at a TED Conference, was aimed towards intellectuals and professionals- those who needed to hear it the most so as to understand the importance of blue collar wokers.
Rowe starts off his speech by describing the essentail task he and his crew aim for. He clarfifies that in all of the 200-plus jobs they have taken on, they do it with respect and always aim to portray the job accurately. By doing so, he establishes ethos and along with it, his credibility as someone who has experinced many labourious jobs. He develops this further by sharing a story about castrating a sheep and how he originally aimed to do it the way the Humane Society had said was the "correct " way to do it.
Rowe effectively establishes logos through an analogy. During his Sheep Castrating story, Rowe brings forth two Greek terms- Anagnorisis and Peripeteia. Using the two terms, he reasoned how the reversal of the situation showed that "incorrect" doesn't always mean "wrong" and "correct" doesn't aways equate to "right".
Rowe establishes pathos through the graphic description of how he ripped the testicles of the sheep off with his teeth. The audience, upon understanding that the off-putting task was normal for the sheep herder, gains a new respect for manual laborers.
Towards the end, Rowe had successfuly established the tone of the speech. He shared with the audiecne a sense of respect and admiration for underappreaciated blue collar workers. He shares how essential manual laborers are to the infrastructure of America and how we as country, should do better to for these workers.

The speaker is Mike Rowe, the host of Dirty Jobs, who is speaking to an audience of people attending a TED talk (which is an educational speech providing a unique perspective). In his show he goes to a location, learns, and repeats the responsibilities of someone who does hands-on work. He quotes his experience, saying he's done this over 200 times, granting himself ethos. He adds logos to that equation by explaining how he researched the methods applied in sheep castration, providing multiple proper sources, and then adding in the hands-on knowledge of all the workers he interacts with, including several anecdotes such as the one about the pig farmer that support his points. He develops a conversation, humorous tone that helps him establish pathos, on top of his use of emotionally-linked words in his descriptions from the quivering, obvious distress of the sheep to the whistling happiness of the roadkill picker-uppers.

In the TED talk, Mike Rowe, the speaker tries to portray respect for blue-collar workers in America, and he does this through a tone of awe and kindness. He also uses a more casual tone, which may be because a more intellectual tone sounds elitist and like a white-collar worker. He establishes ethos from knowing about blue-collar jobs, by casually mentioning his successful show about blue-collar jobs, and saying how he did "projects" where he apprenticed for blue-collar jobs 200 times. He establishes logos by telling stories about typical blue-collar workers, and their success. This establishes logos because it shows that blue-collar workers can be very successful and hard working. He establishes pathos, by telling anecdotes with a humorous tine, that makes people happy to hear his story. He also uses emotional language when referencing himself in the story, speaking of tragedies. This makes the story more personal and appealing.

Mike Rowe establishes his credibility through implication of past dealings with jobs that would be described as "dirty" and his long-term association with the discovery channel, leaving the audience to believe that he has a lot of experience to work from. The audience itself would consist of the general population as he aims to inform and broaden one's perception. This speech took place in an EG conference which brings a variety of people to tell their projects and passions. Throughout his speech, he utilizes his information to draw contrasts of differing perspectives. One was from various organizations such as the Humane Society and PETA and then the other was from the "dirty job" itself in which a less desirable, yet more efficient method of castration was brought to light. This effectively brings out Rowe's idea of "Misconceptions." Rowe also develops a sense of admiration in his speech as he recalls his collaborations with people who perform "dirty jobs" and the epiphany he has from doing the show. To add more sway in this, he develops pathos with light-hearted jokes to make it feel less of an imposed idea to the audience and more of an entertaining speech which can broaden one's perspective if they take his points into consideration.

By telling these he establishes ethos since he shows that he’s worked in some of the places that he describes so that it’s his firsthand account. The speaker of this speech is trying to establish the idea that these undesirable jobs aren’t horrible and that the people who do them lead happy lives and that they aren’t like Hollywood portrays them as being ugly and ill-mannered, but that these people re typical people who enjoy their lives. He establishes logos by telling the audience about people he’s worked with who are happy and make decent livings. The tone of this speech changes throughout the speech beginning with a happier tone until the speaker shows how the sheep were castrated, making one feel sympathy towards the sheep, and he later challenges this by changing the tone to a much more serious one by showing he was wrong and that the sheep who had the rubber bands was in pain longer than the other one. This helps to get people thinking by showing them how they were wrong with how they were thinking.

In this video, Mike Rowe- star of the popular tv show, “Dirty Jobs”- leads a Ted talk. For many in the audience, ethos has been established long before he even speaks- being that his name and face are recognizable to many. That means that the majority of the audience is one that genuinely wants to listen to what Rowe has to share, and will be very receptive of what he says. Ethos is then established with the rest of the audience when Rowe explains his work with “Dirty Jobs.” Additionally, his humor and light tone contribute to the increasing receptiveness of his audience. The occasion is Rowe’s recollection of a profound realization he came to about how humans can be wrong, and humans should always seek to progress and be open to learning more. Rowe’s use of logos contributes to this theme. In his talk, he explains how he did extensive research on how to castrate a sheep to ensure he would do it correctly. And as logic dictates, he was shocked to see it being done in a ways unconventional to the highly esteemed organizations he used for research. After this anecdote, the tone shifts from the original lightness to a more candid tone. He points out problems with the way humans portray and view the common working man. This change in tone contributes to Rowe’s development of pathos, as towards the end, he urges the audience to recognize all these “lost jobs.” He also utilizes pathos through the use of the metaphor of “the war on jobs” and its “casualties.” Overall, Rowe utilized ethos, logos, and pathos successfully.

the fact that people choose not to do "dirty jobs" simply because it is not
appealing to them but ends up leaving them wanting more. He brings up
people such as the flowerpot inventor as well as the pig farmer to give
examples of people who went against the grain and ended up being more
successful than expected. The overall tone of Mike Rowe's speech was encouraging and empowering. The occasion of this TED talk was to tell people

In a nearly twenty minute speech, the speaker Mike Rowe establishes ethos by mentioning his role as an apprentice and host of the show "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery Channel. By indicating this, Rowe shows his knowledge of the subject to the audience. The audience is likely to be regular day-to-day workers who are hearing Rowe's experiences with blue-collar jobs as he intends to educate those unfamiliar with the injustices. The delivering of the speech was caused by the marginalization of blue-collar workers and their jobs. Rowe spent most of his speech showing respect and compassion for the people receiving unfair treatment and looked down upon. While establishing ethos, Rowe also utilizes logos by telling the gritty story of his castration of lambs and contacting organizations asking if he performed it the logical way. Rowe incorporates pathos in the speech by pointing out the details of the dirty jobs he had to endure but in a light, calm, humorous tone to appeal to the audience, making the speech entertaining to watch despite the topic discussed.

The speaker of the speech is Mike Rowe from the television show Dirty Jobs. He establishes ethos in this video by clarifying his job and what it entails. He also mentions the network he works with, the Discovery Channel which is broadly known. Ethos is further implemented when he names some of the occupations hes tried out in different job fields. The audience so easily trusts him with this because they most likely work in some of these fields everyday to make a living. In this TED talk the purpose is to show that the blue-collared jobs have important places in society and the people working them can do this while also living a happy life. He uses logos in this by giving examples of people hes seen who aren't necessarily "following their dreams" but are doing less desirable things and making honest money from it. The tone of the speech is enlightening and motivating and proves that you can be a pig farmer and be just as successful as a lawyer. Towards the end of the speech the tone turns into more of a wake up call to the working people of America. He develops pathos by reflecting on how Hollywood portrays certain jobs and how it creates a negative connotation towards them. He brings to attention that grittier jobs are just as significant to us as any other work. Rowe uses a metaphor of a 'war on jobs' to further use pathos. A mixture of humorous lines and to the point ideas makes this a successful speech for Rowe.

The speaker of this video is Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" for years. In this video Rowe recounts a time he traveled to the small town of Craig in Colorado in which he encountered a strange realization. Rowe establishes ethos by explaining to the audience his experience in doing odd or "dirty" jobs, and his shock to the procedure gives the audience an idea of how truly bizarre this one experience was. His audience is anybody who gets too comfortable with the everyday norm and are too afraid to step out of their comfort zone. Rowe establishes pathos when he begins to talk about the two sheep, the one that he castrated and the one the farmer, Albert, had done. He explains that the one he castrated is struggling to even walk and won't be able to for a full day, meanwhile the one who Albert castrated was walking fine and no longer bleeding despite bleeding at first. This appeals to the audiences emotions because even though Albert's way was vulgar and inhumane the lamb won't suffer for long unlike the one Mike castrated the "right way," this puts the audience in a tough spot because which way is truly right. The tone developed by Rowe is one of confusion and thoughtfulness because as mentioned previously it makes the audience think which side is right without him providing a true blue answer. He establishes logos by recounting the number of shows he's done which proves how crude and unusual this one was.

The speaker, Mark Rowe, is a popular television personality, portrays his thoughts while filming the show "dirty jobs". Throughout his experience filming over 200 episodes, ethos is prevalent in his presentation. This speech was given during a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) presentation. So naturally, the audience is inclined to be acknowledging his logic in such context, to then attribute to their own lives in the TED world. The tone Rowe conveys in his presentation is one of curiosity and question, to question the conventional and sometimes "safe" norms in our lives and to metaphorically stray from the pack.

In this Ted Talk Rowe talks about the time he had a job where he had to castrate a lamb. The reason for this talk is to show people that even if a job has a standard for what is 'safe' for an animal may not be what is best for them. In this talk Rowe mentions that in order to properly castrate the lamb you needed rubber bands, and that there was a specific way to do it. When he got to the farm he quickly learned that what was recommended or approved by PETA was not the best for the lamb. Rowe uses logos to show that even if you do something the logical way it might not be the best. The tone that Rowe sets during his speech is very compassionate and sensitive when he talks about the sheep who fell over and could not walk because of the logical or recommended way to castrate it vs. the way that the farmer castrated the lamb.

In order to create a greater understanding of these lessons Rowe uses ethos, pathos, and logos. Rowe establishes credibility or ethos through his descriptions of the amount of rough jobs he had taken on, to explain that he is experienced. The audience is not defined in the video, yet I can assume they are not experienced with dirty jobs and maybe looking for a career path of their own. The speech is a source of insight that helps to better define the roles that need to be taken in order to maintain a solid society, no matter how dirty the job. Logos is established through the sheer amount of jobs Rowe has taken apart of giving him a different level of insight. The tone of the speech was funny and lighthearted, as he told multiple stories with jokes and sarcastic views. The use of these stories also created a sense of pathos as he was able to connect with his audience via his comedy.

His tone starts light and comedic as he tells his story about the shepherd, but becomes more serious as he dives into the biases against manual labor and laborers and how they might be wrong. He develops pathos through his jokes and sharing of an embarrassing moment with the audience.

1. The speaker is Mike Rowe, an apprentice working with the Dirty Jobs crew. Ethos is used while he talks about a job or two that he did with Dirty Jobs. The audience is people who came for a TED talk. The occasion, so people can learn that sometimes the “humane” way of doing things is not always “humane”. He uses logos by telling about the difference in the “humane” way to take off sheep genital and the way the guy wants him to. The tone of the speaker shifts between the being somewhat joyful to shocked and question in a matter of moments. Pathos is used when tells about the difference between the “rubber band” lamb and the “ball-less” lamb.

At EG 2008 Mike Rowe, the host of the Discovery Channel’s show “Dirty Jobs,” gave a speech called “War on Work.” Most people would assume that being somewhat of an expert in the field Rowe would have a substantial amount of intrinsic ethos. This is not true for two reasons. First, while Rowe has met and spent days with people who do dirty jobs he is, in fact, a T.V. star. He knows about the field, however, he does not live that life. He attempts to overcome this fact by telling stories about the dirty work he has done, in this case castrating lambs. Secondly, he is speaking to a group of people who are coming into the presentation already disagreeing with his ideas. His whole schtick is that he promotes learning trades and getting your hands dirty. However, he is speaking to a group of tech-startups and nude models who believe technology is the savior of the planet. On his podcast “The Way I Heard It,” Rowe mentions that one of the other people present at this gathering was Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Work Week. This book is the antithesis of everything Rowe stands for and promotes work as a thing to be avoided. This gathering was a circus themed event for leaders of various fields to come together and give well structured 20 minute presentations about their ideas. These are not Rowe’s target demographic.
Rowe uses anecdotes from his time on “Dirty Jobs” to discredit main staples of education such as, “follow your passion, and you will succeed.” He does this by telling the story about a pig farmer in Las Vegas who has a $60 million farm, not because he followed his passion, but because he was resourceful and willing to do what others weren’t. This pig farmer went dumpster diving to feed his pigs because it was free high protein food, and because of that he was able to turn a huge profit. This is an idea that may be new and shocking to the audience as they represent the lucky few who did follow their passion and got lucky. Therefore it is important that Rowe use concrete examples to back up his point.
The talk opens in a tone reflective of his intoxication, a crazy, funny story. He is bringing the audience along to listen about the time he had to bite a lamb’s testicles off, using crude humor to get laughs out of the audience. However, in the second half of the speech, after he has grabbed everyone’s attention he switches to serious issue which is important to everyone, jobs. His tone reflects this shift as he becomes more serious. He presents his own unique take on the issue, pointing out the hypocrisy of people who want to create new jobs but then, at the same time, stigmatize them. The switch of tone signals to the audience that this is something to take seriously. This use of ethos, pathos, and logos is especially impressive given that the entire thing was ad libbed on the spot, and he drank a whole bottle of wine before speaking.

The speaker is Mike Rowe host of "Dirty Jobs" on the discovery channel. He establishes ethos by giving examples of all the jobs he has done and how long he has done it. The audience was the the people at the TED talk and anyone watching at home. Pathos was established through the story of the lamb. The audience was ment to be startled and disgusted by the farmers antics. Then they were ment to feel the pain of the lamb treated the humane way. The feeling the audience feels makes the farmers actions seem all the more humane. His tone shifts through out the peice, in the beginning he is light and humorous talking about all he has done on the show. His tone shifts when he talks about the lamb castrated the "humane" way. He uses the shift to esablish his belief in the importance of experience in all these jobs.

The speaker of Ted talk is Mike Rowe, from the highly viewed and anticipated show “Dirty Jobs”. By announcing his role as the protagonist of “Dirty Jobs” and his roles in other infelicitous Job casings, “Deadliest Catch”, he establishes Ethos. When speaking to people about exploring job choices and following their own, I’m estimating he`s talking to young college students, or people needing to be encouraged about the risky jobs they seek. The occasion for this lecture is established when Rowe recalls a time he was mistaken when dealing with the proper way to castrate a sheep. He shared his gruesome experience of discovering that the right way isn’t always the safest or secure way. He explains how his outlook on “Dirty Jobs” changed, and how it changed on viewing on the job industry as well. He develops Logos and proves the earlier statement by describing the way people feel and act when they do what they love. On his trips with the tv show, he recites how happy and comfortable people act when they do the “undesirable” and risky jobs. He explains that the people who follow the risk that they want in their life seem happy, even enough to whistle when they work. He uses Logos to persuade the audience to follow what they want in life, and not to be afraid of the risk. Rowe uses Pathos to make the audience feel sympathetic and inspiration. He connects with the audience by telling a story where he was found wrong as well. He makes another connection to those seeking riskier jobs. He encourages them and tells many successful stories of how one can exceed doing an uncommon job. He develops the tone mainly through logos and pathos. The tone is an inspiring statement, encouraging and reaching people who are scared to reach for what they want in life. Sometimes doing the risky choice will leave you happier

This was a TED talk by Mike Rowe. Rowe is a host on a show called "Dirty Jobs" that is aired on Discovery Channel. He instituted ethos by narrating an experience while he was at work to make the audience realize that he's somewhat a celebrity and a credible source because he appears on TV. He preached to an audience full of people that are hopeful to be successful, happy, and content about their jobs and their lives. Rowe talked about 'war on work'. All of us wants to achieve our dreams, but not all of us do. Some struggle, an some can make that dream come true. For the people who fails to get there, it is not the end of the world. That path was probably not meant for you and your talents. Rowe said that most of us today wants to go the same path in order to be successful, and some of us would go to the other way in order to be more unique. Those people who chose to be unique may not be that 'happy' and 'content' in their professions but at the end of the day, they still gets paid. For those individuals who chose to take the mainstream path could struggle finding jobs because of the overloading amount of people applying and hoping to get that dream job they wanted as a kid. He used logos by stating facts and theoretical language when he was comparing paths taken by people. The tone of his speech was funny and informational. The development of pathos in his speech was greatly observed in his speech because he effectively told his experience about castrating a lamb and literally told every single thing that happened that day which caught the audience's feelings and drew some pity and some gruesomeness from some of them.

The speaker of this TED talk, as well as the widely known host for the show "Dirty Jobs" is Mike Rowe. On the show, Rowe works as an apprentice for the workers who do jobs most people think of as "dirty" and "unwanted". Rowe is speaking to a large group of college students and he establishes ethos by explaining the experiences he's had working with these people, in the job fields that are not sought out for. Mike Rowe is giving this TED talk in order to establish with students that these so called " dirty jobs" are no less important than any other careers. Rowe uses logos to convince them of this. For example, in the video Mike Rowe talks about how innovation without imitation would be a complete waste of time. An example of this would be with iPhones. Although somebody did create the genius idea of an iPhone, that iPhone would not be the same without the people who made the circuit board, the interface, etc. With this, Rowe is portraying to the audience that the world wouldn't be the same without the people who do these unwanted jobs and that the people who do them should be celebrated.

In the article, "The Value of Higher Education", the author is nailing down the thought and idea that higher education's positives easily weigh out some of the negatives such as future labor skills and hefty tuition prices. The author hammers this nail throughout the article by siting statistics showing that college graduates have higher chances in the job field than high school graduates. There are also many personal experiences in the article by many people that have gone even past college.

He establishes ethos just based on who he is, which is someone who has experience doing jobs that are widely considered undesirable, and experience with the people who do them for a living. His audience is an assortment of people from the San Francisco Bay area.

The occasion is a TED talk. These are lectures, done by professionals with much experience in their subject. Rowe uses logos by using direct examples of situations and the actions of the workers in them, such as the castration story or the fishing story.

The tone switches. It starts as incredulous, as Rowe describes the castration story. It then switches to a more educational tone, as he tries to show the audience who the people who do the "dirty jobs" are, counter to what are likely the audience's preconceived notions. Rowe develops pathos by telling his stories as descriptively as possible, to capture the audience as he was captured in those stories.

In the story of the value of higher education talks about the challenges of what high school students go through and how people that attend colleges had lots of things way easier. Like if you was to have a bachelor's degree you would gain about 2 million jobs while the ones with high school diplomas and less of an education lost 230,000 jobs over the same two year period. Not only that the purpose of getting trying to get a higher education is to gain knowledge and skills for life.

Mike Rowe gave a speech on his view on "dirty" trade jobs. He opened up with a story of castrating sheep in Craig, Colorado. The night before he had found out he would be castrating, so he did some research and learned that the humane way, which is putting a tight rubber band around the balls, the way he thought he would be doing the crastration. But later to find out that at the sheep farm they bite off the balls. He was appalled and requested to do it the humane way, which he did and could see a complete difference in the way the animal reacted after. He realized that he was wrong and proceeded to bite off the testicles. After that job he had realized how wrong he was with many other jobs. He told this story to the audience of TED which is mostly intellectual people that they either take the speakers ideas or ignore them. Him sharing the story kept a humorous vibe in the room which grabbed everyone's attention. Even tho I'm the end it was a serious lesson he learned, which led to to the conclusion that there is a war on work. Meaning that there are less and less trade jobs taken because they are not seen as enjoyable jobs or jobs worth doing. Which makes no sense because they are jobs that pay reasonable and sometimes more. He believes that a different view on the jobs from society will help make a difference on trade jobs.

Throughout his experience filming over 200 episodes, he has gained credibility in this field, and many different fields. This is how Ethos was established. This speech was given during a TED presentation. So naturally, the audience is inclined to be acknowledging his logic in such context, to then attribute to their own lives in the TED world. The tone Rowe conveys in his presentation is one of curiosity and question, to question the conventional and sometimes "safe" norms in our lives and to challenge some of our everyday believes to what we think is right. Pathos was used in this video when Rowe explained some of the moments in his life where he was in the wrong in particular situations and that its okay to make mistakes and that is a part of life, and connecting with people on a deeper level.

The speaker, Mike Rowe, establishes ethos by his explanation of what he does for a living, that being his position as the host of the TV show "Dirty Jobs", wherein he travels around meeting people who do hard and dirty work for a living, and learning how to do that work himself, then actually doing some of it himself. Clearly, then, he is in a very uniquely good position to talk about the hard and "dirty" labor that many people do every day, thus establishing ethos. This applies especially well considering who his audience is, who, in regards to the live audience specifically, paid thousands of dollars simply to attend the occasion. These are people who are likely very unfamiliar with the kinds of jobs Rowe is talking about. Rowe's point in his speech is that there is a stigma against hard work. That we're all focused on working less, and see those who do all the hard work as those who didn't do so well in life. He then goes on to counteract that by telling the story of a pig farmer who got crazy rich by feeding his pigs food he dug out of dumpsters as they helped the pigs more, thus showing logos. He also mentions the perception of hard workers in media as either heroes or punch lines, such as the whole "300 pound plumber with a butt crack showing" thing, again showing logos. Finally, he develops pathos through his tone, being very humorous and getting many chuckles out of the audience over the course of the speech, while also being very serious at times in his tone, as he feels quite seriously about the topic, thus, finally, showing pathos.

Mike Rowe is the speaker at Ted Talk. Mike establishes ethos by drawing the audience in by appealing to his credibility in the beginning . For example, he reminded them of his work and what he was known for , which was being involved in the discovery channel series called dirty jobs. By this action he's letting them know that he's able to speak upon this topic because he's an reliable source. Mike's audience is basically the people who aren't sure what they want to do in life or those who are curious and out there searching and deciding if they want to "follow their passion". The occasion of this speech was his discovering something and it changing his perspective on things that made him rethink what he wanted to do to be successful. He also utilized logos by going into details with the duty he would have to perform and looking up information. The tone was quite serious but also humorous at times. Pathos was used when he talked about what was supposed to happen to the lamb and what really happened.

Mike Rowe explains how hard labor has been unduly demeaned by modern American society and provides other insights which readily and directly go against the common conception of people about work, while drawing on some of his captivating and amusing real-life anecdotes such as in castrating a lamb. As the popular host of the renowned TV program, “Dirty Jobs”, Rowe was expected by the audience to share his perceptive insights and analyzes about work considering his vast and diverse experiences on most dangerous and unthinkable occupations to make a living across America.

Rowe successfully established a communion and presence with his audience at the onset through the extensive and detailed narration of his experience in castrating a lamb. Rowe created a degree of inclusiveness in acting on the viewpoint of the audience with which they can identify with. He achieved this by tackling on an eerie subject such as castration, to which most regular people share a certain level of detesting.

Rowe then adapts his message to the audience by challenging certain values and beliefs about work by proceeding to explain realizations and revelations that he underwent throughout his experience using an argument by illustration or by using examples. In particular, he presented that falsity of the notion of work as about following one’s passion in the story of Bob Combs, a farmer who collected the uneaten scraps of food from the casinos and feeds them to his swine. The work was filthy yet financially rewarding. It was not about following one’s passion but about making a great living. Rowe’s speech functioned to transfer and secure the adherence by the audience on a conclusion or claim by the speaker from settled grounds that are accepted by the audience. The speech kicks off with a distinctive experience of Rowe about castrating a lamb and concludes with a revelation or discovery of a truth to which the audience could identify and to which they responsively agreed.

Mike Rowe is an actor, and facilitator on the "set" of "Dirty Jobs" a documentary-like show that shines light onto jobs that are seen as undesirable. After two hundred episodes, he steps up to speak on "TedTalk", automatically giving him a powerful ethos, especially since his audience payed to be there and listen to him.

Mike also shares detailed stories of two episodes of his show, one working with sheep herders who are castrating their livestock, and one on a crab boat. The details he provides, on how he secured materials to the boat, and his step by step experience pulling out sheep testicles with his mouth, he develops credibility, and logos.

Throughout his talk he stumbles upon his own mistakes and assumptions, and guides the audience through his experiences in jobs he had unconsciously stereotyped. This emotionally charged segment stirs and sways the thoughts of his listeners, as he makes strong use of pathos.

The speaker of this TED Talk is Mike Rowe, most famously known for his work on "Dirty Jobs", a show on the Discovery Channel in which he goes out and takes part in some of the various different jobs that one could consider undesirable here in America. His credibility, better yet known as ethos, is obvious in the sole fact that he's had several different applicable experiences through doing this show and undoubtedly knows a thing or two about what it means to be a worker and just overall, how to be a productive member of society. The audience is college students who hold Rowe credible as well, considering they came to watch him speak in the first place. The occasion for the speech seems to be for him to speak on his experiences with the show and to take the opportunity to enlighten these students on what he's learned from it. Logos is utilized by Rowe in that he logistically speaks on the idea that the media oftentimes looks down upon these manual labor jobs and does not positively acknowledge them the way they should. The tone shifts throughout the speech from one of lightheartedness to serious and informative. Lastly, he utilizes pathos by bringing in an element of humor and emotionally driven storytelling.

This TED talk is given by Mike Rowe, who stars in the show "Dirty Jobs", a show which documents jobs less desirable jobs in the world. Rowe establishes Ethos from the get-go in his TED speech; by already being a well-known figure on T.V. and among most of his audience of college students, who paid to listen to him speak.

The occasion for this speech is to explain the benefits that these "dirty jobs" can have, and this is also where he establishes Logos. He establishes logos when giving detailed explanations about certain jobs he's worked with, such as castrating lambs. Doing this, he gets the audience to understand as to why one would rather use their mouth, instead of the method using rubber bands to castrate the lambs, as the accepted method puts the lambs under a visible amount of stress. Using facts that he has gathered through working in the field, is how he guides the audience.

The tone that he develops is charged with emotions, as he goes on to regard how mistaken he was about his views on the procedures, and how wrong he is a lot of the time. How he had transitioned from ignorance to knowledge, with anagnorisis and that's what Dirty Jobs is; as well as the "peripeteia", the moment of realization in great tragedies. He develops Pathos by delving into how the employees feel with noting that, people with dirty jobs are happier than we think and that they're some of the happiest people he knows as a group. They are "balanced people who do unthinkable work" as quoted by Rowe. However, although these jobs may not be as undesirable as they are deemed, not everyone takes these jobs from passion. It's to help the collective society, as clean and dirty are like infrastructure and imitation; they are not opposites, but rather two sides of the same coin.

The speaker uses ethos a when he tells the story about how he believed using the rubber band method was more humane, however, he realized he was wrong all along and that the rubber band method was actually more painful to the lamb and that the process was slower. Even though the one he was just learning seemed to have made the lamb happier. The speaker tries to convince the audience that sometimes what you have believed was right could have been wrong all along. He utilizes logos by pointing out certain things in his life that were proven wrong after he went into deep thought about it. He seems to talk about the fact that you shouldn’t fallow your “Passion” You should step back and see where everyone is going, then you go to the other direction. He talks about how “Mistakes “Are not Necessarily wrong, its just a different way of doing things. The speaker used pathos mostly throughout his speech. For example, in his video he describes how he was so shocked of the process he had go through while biting a lambs tactical off. He saw that the method of cutting it off and getting it over with seems to have benefited both the lamb and the farmer, plus it saved a lot of time. The process made the speaker rethink many things only because he was so sure that he was right.

In the TED talk by Mike Rowe who was the guy on “Dirty jobs” he talks
About to war on jobs. Less and less people are less willing to get their hands dirty even though the people with the dirtiest jobs are happiest. He uses Ethos to persuade this belief. He uses logos to try and convince people that dirty jobs can be gross at first but can pay more and in fact isn’t that bad. He wants the people in the audience to not feel bad for the people with these jobs. He is against pathos and wants people to see that these people are happy. The guy who picked up roadkill for a living hummed and sang while he did it. That’s what happens when you’re so used to something. These people have good jobs that most people would think are the worst thing around but they are the backbone of our society.
